Finally ready!

Yes! The new stays are finally in place. Of course the delivery was late and the work was more time consuming than expected. We had to take down the whole furling and split it in all its peaces before we could fit the new stay inside. Now we have a strong rig that we trust will bring us safely across the Biscay.
We are leaving in a few hours on a good forecast. There will still be no messages from us in the open ocean because we have terminated the satphone subscription.
We estimate 4-5 days on this leg but dont worry if it takes more time.
We are short on time now and have decided not to stop in Skagen. We still hope and plan to arrive in Arendal july 15.
